Giveaway: OXO Food Mill

Joanne has wanted a food mill for years. Seriously, years. Every time she catches a glimpse of Barefoot Contessa’s show on Food Network, I get a look, a look that says “please, please can our next kitchen purchase be a food mill?” I’ve always been hesitant, we really don’t have much space in our kitchen and if we were going to add another kitchen item, I would have gone for a smoker, sausage attachment or similar, not a food mill. That is until we tried this one out. All my worries about space went away the moment I saw how compact the OXO food mill was. Everything packs away nicely, those cute little feet tuck up underneath the unit and it is all incredibly easy to use and more importantly, clean. We’ve already made soup (recipe to come soon), mashed potatoes, parsnip puree and even have plans for jam (to be given as gifts this year), applesauce and whatever else Joanne can come up with (who knows what goes on in her head sometimes!?!).

The beauty of a food mill, especially this one, is that it comes with three grinding discs for fine, medium and coarse textures. We used the course texture for our tomato soup, medium for mashed potatoes and fine for the parsnip puree. The discs swap in or out in seconds and are all dishwasher safe (score!). Oh, and bonus — a food mill is perfect for making your own baby food, so no need to buy additional expensive appliances. So, I suppose the bottom line is I was wrong and Joanne was right, we did need that food mill after all.
